progress in the knowledge Of agricul-
ture, making good use OF their ex-
perience in stock raising, showing a
desire for better buildings and home
appointments, and what is equally i'm
portant are manifesting a growing in
terest in their schools. This encourag-
ing generalization must not be regarded,
however, as indicating that the Indians
as q whole have settled down to an en-
tirely peaceful and moral condition,
requiring only that present methods
shall be maintained to insure their con-
tinuance in we'll doing. On the con-
trary the report states that there is
urgent need for provision to secure
better administration Of JUS
tice in the Indian territory,
where it is said the reckless
destruction Of human life, particularly
in the Cherokee and Creek nations, is
appalling to contemplate. Officers, in
attempting to discharge their official
duties, have been brutally murdered,
and the murderers have escaped pun
ishment and even trial. There is suf
ficient evidence that the number of bad
Indians is still very large, and even
with the progress making, is likely to
continue so for some time to come.
Regarding the severalty law, the
policy has been to ''make haste slowly"
and the commission suggests that the
public must not be impatient if the
work proceed less rapidly than it de-
sires. 1t was not intended to force the
law upon the acceptance of the Indians,
and the president has followed the
proper course in ordering that allot-
ments shall be made only on reserva-
tions where the Indians are known to be
generally favorable to the plan. 1t has
met with considerable opposition,
largely inspired undoubtedly by inter-
ested parties to whose interests it is in
imical, though to some extent by per-
sons who profess to believe that it in
wolves an injustice and would work an
injury to the Indians. 1t will take some
time to overcome this opposition, but
the commissioner reports that it is grad
ually disappearing and the law is gain
ing in favor. Every practical consider
| alton is certainly in favor of the sever
nlty policy as the one most likely to ul-
timately solve the Indian question, and
! undoubtedly with benefcent results to
the Indian. Regarding the schools, the
report offers some very cogent reasons
for the rule that only the English Ian
| guage shall be taught. He insists that
it is impracticable, if not impossible, to
civilize the Indians in any other tongue
than our own, and it is indeed sing
ular that there should be any serious
disagreement on this proposition.
